On Tuesday, May 1st, members of UFCW Local 152 who work at Hanover Foods in Ridgely, MD unanimously ratified a new contract. The five-year contract includes wage increases, the opportunity for senior members to train on higher paying jobs, and a minimum increase to health care contribution.

Hanover Foods is a produce processing plant, and many of their products are found in our local’s union retail stores.

Congratulations to our members and the Negotiating Committee: Union Representative Lisa Sanders, Assistant Director of Collective Bargaining Danette Montes-Palmore, and commitee members Michael Warncke and James Collins.
